Two things:
Firstly if you 'know' he's min donking with air then why not just raise the flop and get him to fold? Second, nice hand!!

I was a bit worried about being tilt re raised all in given the shallow stack size. | ||

But if your read is that he has air then what are you worried about? You're in great shape vs air.

True, I didn't have a read that he 3bets all in with air though 
In all seriousness, do you favour a raise there over calling if you think your opponent is weak(hand strength), tilted, loose and likely not to multi barrel bluff you. I'd say he was the more aggressive end of a call station, he didn't raise pre flop often, played ~95% of his buttons, called most of my pre flop raises, cbet most of the time but only folded to cbets around half the time, calling with all manner of draws, over cards etc. When he did donk out like this and I called he pretty much shutdown if he didn't improve. |

tbf i cant recall playing anybody where they ONLY donkbet air. if they're getting raised a bunch they will adapt (albeit badly)
but if you have a read they Donkbet air then their air has been seen/folded enough to make them want to make some kind of adaption which'll generally involve not donking so much air/donking stronger hands |
